My First Love

"Tender is the Night" Underneath the April Rain Other eyes

My First Love

All my ways she wove of light
Wove them half alive
Made them warm and beauty bright
So the shining ambient airs closed golden
Where the pearl fishers dive

When she wept and begged a kiss
Very close I'd hold her
Oh, I know well in this
Fine fierce joy of memory
She was young like me
Though half an eon older

Once she kissed me
Tiptoed out the door, Left me
Took her light along
Faded as a music fades
Then I saw the changing shades
Color blind no more
